This is part of the irrigation system that supplies water to some
of the many farms in the Wellton area. I'm told almost all such
systems in the southwest have Catfish living in them.
Lands of the Wellton-Mohawk Valley have been under cultivation
intermittently since prehistoric times. Spanish explorers followed
the Colorado River to a point several miles above the mouth of the
Gila, and found Indians living there and using the waters of the
two rivers to irrigate their crops. The Jesuit missionary, Father
Eusebio Kino, visiting the lower Gila and Yuma area in 1700, wrote
of finding "little fields of maize, beans, calabashes and
watermelons". This cache is a micro and designed as a quick drive
too cache to help boost your count. Bring your own pencil. Do not
try to access from either Hwy 8 or old Hwy 8 - come into Wellton to
access.
